Mar-04-06		blingice: Ooo, that was full of subtle traps in the corner, if 82..g3?, the white king would not be able to scoot the black king from the corner, e.g. 83. Kh1 g2 (a king move trying for the h-file only gets the black king to move back and forth, which doesn't help) 84. Kg1 1/2-1/2 because it is about the become stalemate with 84..Kg3 (protecting the pawn) and any other king move loses the pawn. To the original game, if 83..g3, it is stalemate. White didn't blunder ever, he played it the best possible way, and black played it spectacularly.
